Food was extraordinary and quick. My daughter tried the shrimp and really enjoyed it. They were very accommodating for her gluten allergy. The steak was so delicious my wife didn't even need A1 sauce! Marquise and McKenzie were patient and attentive to our table. Thanks for a great meal.
We had a lovely meal, our server Lilly is an absolute dream as she took care of our needs and specifically my gluten friendly requests. I wish her the best!
The food is consistently hot and fresh, never disappointing. The staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. There are numerous vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available to cater to everyone's dietary preferences.
Best cocktail mixed drinks in Toledo or one of the top three at least. Sitting unassumingly between an Edward Jones and a salon. The owner and the staff are out of this world with their friendly, not overbearing service, but not inattentive either. Only downside is sometimes they are packed, sometimes it's nice and cozy. Patio out back in the warmer months. Get the pub dip or impossible sliders. Never had a bad menu item. Vegan, gluten free and cocktails available are very well done. Something for everyone. Target 20-30$ per person for a drink and food, less than 20 per person if you split some food and stick to one or two drinks. It'll be worth it and you'll wish you had more to tip
Clara J’s Tea Room is an absolute gem tucked into the heart of Maumee. From the moment you step inside, it feels like you’ve been invited into a charming English house — one where the teapots are always warm, the staff greets you like an old friend, and every detail is infused with elegance and heart.
The tea selection is incredible (seriously, there’s a perfect blend for everyone), and the food is not only delicious but beautifully presented — the kind of lunch that makes you pause and savor. The scones? A dream. The tea sandwiches? Delightful. And don’t even get me started on the seasonal desserts! Bonus - gluten-free options!
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just escaping the everyday for a few hours, Clara J’s is a magical little haven. The ambiance, the people, the flavors — it’s all so thoughtfully done. I always leave feeling lighter, happier, and already planning my next visit.
Highly recommend for afternoon tea lovers, mother-daughter dates, bridal showers, or anyone who needs a dose of cozy, nostalgic charm.
We always have a good experience here. I love that they mark the gluten- free items on the regular menu. They also have modified dishes for me to swap out butter sauces for oil-based. Everything is always delicious!
Visited again after some time. The service was okay, though the waitress laughed when I told her I had to stay gluten free, apparently thinking I was making a joke, not informing her of my allergy. The steak was okay. Just okay. It was seasoned alright, but it was much smaller than expected, under cooked, and slathered in butter. Could frankly have done better at home. Nothing was exceptional.
Pizza to go. My husband is wheat free, so I ordered the gluten-free pizza. As with the cauliflower crust, these pizzas only come in smalls and are pricy.
My husband doesn't like the gluten-free pizza the next day, but he does like the cauliflower crust the next day.
The stuffed cabbage was really good! It's also nice because it's a gluten friendly option! Their pickles/fried pickles are very crunchy and flavorful. They also had dog biscuits for sale at the counter, my dog loved it when I brought it home to her!
We loved our street tacos! I had the bbq chicken and philly tacos, my bride had a gluten friendly bowl taco. Fun atmosphere, clean enough, good service, outdoor patio, everything we enjoy. We didn't have the margaritas but they had them available.
This was my first time here. I wish they had a gluten-free bun option, but the food was good without a bun. Great outdoor seating. We enjoyed the musician playing. The waitress was very nice and attentive.
